Chapter 271: Preparing for a Rainy Day (Part II)

After a few jokes that were not complaining, the topic was returned to the topic by Longola: "I and the department staff think that Barbosa's loan is still relatively high, after all, with a high transfer fee of close to 30 million euros, he only got 160 minutes of playing time when the season is left in one month, what a waste!" ”

"I also want to be so willful once, but unfortunately I can only think about it." The Torino coach seized the opportunity to complain, which made the two club executives around him cry and laugh, and Valentino had to signal him to stop making trouble, and it was important to get down to business, so he appeased this guy who was about to be driven crazy by money.

Longo continued his previous analysis: "From the point of view of the player and his agent, I definitely don't want to go on like this, this is the age when the technical ability is gradually maturing through the training of a lot of games, they can no longer afford to delay after wasting a year, and they will definitely ask for a lot of playing time next season; And Inter, no matter who is chosen as the new coach, will not rashly use this young player who has not been replaced for almost a whole year, even if he is a supernova with the name of 'new Neymar', but there are still few Brazilians who were amazingly famous when they debuted and finally became unrecognizable? So, we analyse that Barbossa is likely to be loaned out in the summer to a team that promises to give him plenty of playing opportunities. ”

"And we, who are also Serie A teams, have a greater advantage than foreign teams, because we can adapt him to the football culture here, and after practice, he can use it directly when he takes it back to Inter Milan, and there is no need to make adjustments." Li Mudi couldn't help but interject.

"Yes, that's why I think the chances of getting this player are relatively high, and I believe that if he can be guaranteed playing time, there should be a good chance of completing the loan. However...... "The confidence in Longo's words is still relatively sufficient, but the demeanor and tone of his speech are just the opposite.

"I've said a long time ago that as long as I'm in charge of the team, no one will be able to secure their main position, everything depends on the players working hard to get it. I've had to compromise on the use of some players this season due to a shortage of staff, but hopefully everything will go in the right direction if we get it right in the summer. Barbossa's ability and potential are indeed worth a gamble on the team, but when it comes to playing time, there is absolutely no commitment to it, and the only factor that determines whether he can play or even start is his own performance. The Torino boss was still consistently "unapproachable", but that image was instantly ruined by Valentino Cairo.

"Don't listen to him pretending here, everyone can see from the fact that the Torino manager has a preference for young players in the past almost a season. How powerful is the ability to teach. Bareka and Jesse have become the main force of the team under this guy, and their strength has also improved a lot compared to before, and the two central midfielders of Baseli and Benassi have firmly sat in the core of the team's midfield, and their value is rising. If a genius like Barbossa is put in his hands, he won't be able to sleep well if he doesn't develop a look, so he doesn't have to worry about playing time at all! ”

"Haha......" As soon as he heard this, Longo couldn't help laughing, Li Mudi wanted to refute it, but when he thought that he was indeed as his good friend said, he couldn't help laughing, and shook his head slightly, with a helpless face.

After a while of joy, Longo, who was still an old man, took the lead in recovering and once again put the focus of the exchange back on the new signings, and he said with some hesitation: "The problem at the moment is that if Boyer is successfully transformed, the team will currently have five wingers, and it will be difficult to convince Barbossa and other wingers to join, after all, the level of competition is a little too fierce." ”

This problem is indeed very critical, if it is not solved, it will bring great trouble to the future recruitment, coupled with the restrictions on the household registration book of Serie A, it will be very difficult to adjust the Torino team list next season. The Torino manager, who already had a rough plan in this regard, thought about it for a moment and put out what he was thinking and discussing.

Although Cerci is gradually recovering in form, even if it is not at the peak of the previous one, he can still play the main role in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A. But because of this, it is difficult for us to keep him, in Turin he can only be used as an absolute substitute, but joining other teams gives him more opportunities to show his ability, so the answer is self-evident. ”

"Jesse has basically regained the strength he had before the serious injury, and there is still some room for improvement, and he is currently the best winger in the team for future development. However, Real Madrid will definitely keep him in the first team next season, as an iconic figure of the post-90s generation in the academy, Lafayette and Zizou who have begun to pay attention to the new generation of successors will give him a lot of opportunities, at least next season Jesse is likely to be reused......

"With Real Madrid's current super luxurious attacking line-up, will he be needed?" Valentino Cairo couldn't help but interject.

Li Mudi smiled slightly bitterly and responded: "Zizure can't help to determine the main positions of Ronaldo and Benzema, and with Isco's excellent performance in the past two months and his contract renewal issues, the position of Real Madrid's front trident is quite stable, and players like Bale, Ronaldo and Morata can only sit on the bench, do you think they will be willing?" Gareth Bale has been in a relationship with Manchester United for a long time, Alvaro Morata has been privately complaining that he doesn't want to leave Juventus, and the Colombian has repeatedly expressed his displeasure with losing his main position, and the three are likely to seek new space in the summer. The positions they have left are in need of being filled, and it seems that the two youngsters of Jesse and Asensio should be at the moment. ”

The Torino coach is in a bad mood at the thought that the young striker, who has been abandoned by his parent team but has been reborn in his own hands, is leaving, but for the players, Real Madrid's platform is naturally one of the best and biggest in the world, and from any point of view, returning to the Galaxy is the best choice. In addition, he is the head coach of the Real Madrid department, no matter how reluctant he is, he has to give face to Lafayette and his good friends, so he has to give up the struggle, but he really has no confidence in what will happen to him after his return, and the water in the Real Madrid dressing room is too deep...... Alas!

After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Li Mudi continued to break the news: "As for the remaining people, I don't know if you are still unclear, I learned some more secret information through the network between Gines and Real Madrid. Borussia Dortmund have sent scouts to watch our game against Sampdoria at the weekend, with the focus on Rajjadzic. 'The FM system was clearly on display, and it was this week that the Serbian had a strong suitor in the transfer box.

"Bumblebee?" Valentino Cairo, who obviously didn't know this information before, was slightly stunned, and then quickly said what information he had: "They have indeed been in constant contact with some well-known strikers in recent times, but I have always guessed that it seems to be unreliable, and in the summer, will Aubameyang, Reus, Schurrle, Dembele and Gotze, the super-talented frontcourt combination that the whole world will envy and envy, finally fall apart?" ”

In terms of age structure and talent alone, Borussia Dortmund's frontcourt players are definitely above most other teams, even if they are facing Barcelona's MSN and Real Madrid's BBC now, not to mention the potential for future development, so no one will not covet the 43-year-old young coach Thomas Tuchel, who is indeed lucky.

However, the genius of Achilles' heel has prevented the Hornets from establishing a dynasty, and except for Aubameyang and Dembele, who is still young and does not know what the future holds, the other three are all well-known sick seedlings. Gotze's ankle ligaments and thigh muscles have undergone many tears, Schurrle's knees, thigh muscles and hamstrings also have problems once or twice a year, and Reuss, who has the highest potential among the three, is even more troubled by ankle ligament tears, and has to take a break for three or four months at every turn.

Valentino meant that Li Mudi understood that the former was suspecting that Dortmund did not have the position to buy a new attacker, unless they were prepared to sell their existing players. So he explained two sentences: "It is rumored in the media every year that Aubameyang will leave, maybe it really can't stay this year, and the Hornets are not really giants, rather than waiting to be poached by Bayern at a low price, it is better to make a lot of money when the player's price is inflated." Coupled with their numerous injuries, it's understandable to consider bringing in new players, as the club is still very good at buying unknown players at a low price, training them and then selling them at a high price. ”

Director Longo also believes that since the other party has sent scouts to watch the game, it means that there is indeed a willingness to buy, and it is not groundless. And it just so happens that Rajjdzic is not the ideal frontcourt player in the Torino coach's mind, and the rise of Jesse has made the relationship between this pair of coaches a little delicate, and it is an ideal result for such a player to be actively bought and sold for a good price by other clubs.

However, as a result, there is only one serious winger left in the team, and the effect of Boyer's transformation is still unknown, and this position, which originally seemed to be the least worried, has become stretched thin, which is really a big surprise to the two people around Li Mudi. However, Barbosa's introduction obstacles have also completely disappeared, and Longo said that he will focus on following up on this matter, and will find an opportunity to communicate with the player's agent in the near future, test the other party's tone, and strive to find out whether the possibility of the next operation can be carried out as soon as possible.

In addition to Barbossa, the Torino coach believes that Inter Milan still has a lot of players worth paying attention to, because when he contacted the other party's young club by phone two days ago, the board of directors led by Su Ning Group has basically decided to invest at least 50 million euros in the summer to introduce new signings, which means that some of the original players will be cleaned up, and Torino can see if there are any leaks to pick up. Longo said that he has little hope for this, because the red bull is not looked down upon by the weak people, and even if the price of the powerful ones is not high, the salary will be a big problem. For example, Montenegrin striker Jovetic, who was loaned to Sevilla, his ability and style are very suitable for the Torino team, but the annual salary before tax of up to 6.5 million makes this transaction intention stillborn, and it is a "poor" word.

Once Inter's situation is basically over, the rest of the focus is on Roma. As mentioned many times before, the two clubs of Red Wolves and Red Bull have had a very frequent exchange of players in the last two or three years, of course, it is mainly the players of the Roma team who have been loaned to the latter to find form, and there are also many people who are completely unable to use it have been sold. At present, there are three players in the Torino team who played for Roma last season, Kastan, Farke and Rajadzic, and this season the two sides have produced a deal between Bruno Perez and two youngsters, Marchiza and Pellegrini, and the relationship is naturally extraordinary.

The presidents of the two clubs are deliberately bringing the relationship closer to each other, an alliance between the traditional three has gradually taken shape, the water in Italian football has always been very deep and muddy, Li Mudi said that he will not participate too much, but if he can take advantage of it, he will not take the initiative to refuse, it is difficult for idealists to survive in this world.

With the clarity of Juventus' title this season, the Red Wolves have finished runners-up eight times in the 15 years since winning their third Serie A title in 2000/01, and are the best team outside of Juventus and Milan. But whether it is the competition for supremacy in the early stage, or the clear distinction between strength and weakness caused by the phone door in the middle stage, or the current old lady's family, there seems to be an insurmountable gap between them and the champion, and sometimes it is close at hand, but it is almost impossible to break through.

And now, with the emergence of Napoli and the imminent investment in Milan's change of backstage from the Celestial Empire, American billionaire James Palotta, who took over the Red Wolves in 2012 (he represents the Raptors group who also owns a controlling stake in the NBA's traditional giants Boston Celtics), is starting to become increasingly uneasy. On the one hand, he wants to win the recognition of local fans by winning the league championship, so he has invested a lot of money in the past few years to bring in many outstanding players, and most of the current team players such as Nainggolan, Dzeko, Salah, Stroman and others were purchased when he was in charge of the club; On the other hand, they are worried about the isolation of the team in the league and are eager to expand their living space.

Roma were squeezed by the top three in the north during Sensi's time, and it was difficult to buy good players from the teams that occupied the majority of the places in Serie A, and Sensi Sr. had been trying to co-opt smaller teams against Juventus and Milan. Although the situation has improved, Roma still lack a strong ally around them, so Palotta turned his mind to the Red Bulls, who are enemies with the old woman, hoping that the two sides can fight together on key issues and have some say, which is the main reason why the two clubs communicate so often in the player market.

Longo said that after feeling the strong pressure around him, especially the teams behind him, the Red Wolves will also have a lot of lineup changes in the coming summer, and the wolf king Totti is also very likely to choose or be forced to retire, and they will usher in a big change of blood after replacing the head of the wolf, Torino will be the only VIP customer, you can be the first to select the players you need, and the price will be very reasonable, which is the sincerity shown by the other party.
